00:00You're telling us to batten down the hatches for a couple of days.
00:02I know everybody's going to run out.
00:04The Red Sox might want to try battening down the hatches.
00:07So that's a series loss.
00:11I'm not going to get worked up about it, but if you lose a series to the
00:15Guardians, you are limping into the postseason.
00:19And now you have a concern, as you heard Courtney talk about at the start of
00:25the show, about whether Wilson Contreras is going to be available or not for
00:30you in the wild card series.
00:32Yeah, see, that's more of a concern, the injuries that, you know, I don't have
00:36anything new on Sedan and Raffaella.
00:38No, I mean, he went out of his way to say that it was more of a cramp than it
00:43was an injury.
00:45So I guess that's good news.
00:47Yeah, that is that that would I mean, but you you want to have both of those
00:52guys. Oh, yeah. I mean, your issue last go around with the Yankees was you were
00:58able to cobble together six runs or whatever the entire series last last year.
01:06So you need those that can hit the baseball to be available and hitting the
01:11baseball. I don't want to waste my good drives on the range.
01:13Greg, I'm OK.
01:15I think the Red Sox beat the Yankees.
01:17I am totally and completely unafraid by this swoon.
01:20And really, yeah, it's just they're not it's irrelevant.
01:23Their eyes are already set on it.
01:25Their manager already got rewarded.
01:27They know what's coming up next week.
01:28OK, they're, you know, smoke them if you got them.
01:30They're hanging out.
01:31There might be going out, having a nice time.
01:33Even Roman Anthony.
01:34I don't have a problem with any of it.
01:35Just get to New York, win the series, and we'll see in the wild card round.
01:38Yeah, I mean, I see a divisional round.
01:41I see Game Dog in the Twitch chat already this morning.
01:43And Game Dog is suggesting that I am a one game reactionary type person.
01:51And I can be that way.
01:52It comes from being tortured my entire 59 years by the Boston Red Sox.
01:58So I am OK with overreacting.
02:02And maybe I should maybe the way in which the season is ending has nothing to do with
02:07the way in which the postseason will go.
02:09I'm OK with that.
02:11So Red Sox will play two.
02:13Well, I mean, to be fair to you, it's not one game.
02:15They haven't hit in about a week and a half.
02:17Correct.
02:17I mean, look at their last 10 games.
02:18They've averaged, I think, 1.8 runs a game.
02:21Yeah.
02:21So it's not one game.
02:23So that's why, I mean, they might want to say that to Game Dog.
02:26No, and it's also, if I'm correct, it's back-to-back series losses.
02:30Am I correct about that?
02:32Yeah, I don't care about series losses.
02:33Yeah, I really don't.
02:35I'm kind of with, like, Curtis on this one.
02:37I know you're like, you know, people are going to get concerned.
02:40Because when you head into the postseason, you want to see your team playing well.
02:44But, you know, Brez Barton talking to people in the MLB world that really know it.
02:50Like, hey, listen, it's not the same as other sports, though.
02:53Are you talking to a lot of people in the MLB world?
02:56Not a lot.
02:57If so, I would like to.
02:58Brez Barton, Sam Kennedy, and Chad Tracy.
03:00OK, I didn't know if you were including Bradfoe in that.
03:03No, no, no.
03:04Will Fleming?
03:05No, no, I don't talk to Will Fleming much.
03:07In the MLB world, I think he is.
03:09Yeah, he is.
03:09But, I mean, we don't know.
03:10Baseball Brett.
03:11I mean, the list goes on and on.
03:13I don't really chop it up with them, though.
03:15So, no, I don't talk to them.
03:16How come we never hear from Baseball Brett on the show anymore?
03:19I think he just texts you things to tell me.
03:23This is Mark from Florida.
03:25Good morning, Mark.
03:27Greg, I'm with you.
03:29And I love Curtis, and I rarely disagree with him, but not to steal Rick Pitino's vibe,
03:34but Mo Vaughn's not walking through that door, and neither is David Ortiz or Manny Ramirez.
03:39This team has no punch.
03:41They have no extra base hit ability.
03:43They're feeble, and they're heading into a Yankee series against legitimate pitching.
03:49I don't think we're going to score more than a run a game.
03:51I'm sorry, Curtis.
03:52I think we lose in two straight, and the scores are going to be two to nothing and three to
03:56nothing.
03:57Bite your tongue.
03:58I want to hear a crazy prediction.
04:00Red Sox score more than one run in the first inning of game one.
04:04All right.
04:05Now.
04:06That's what you got to get to these aces, Greg.
04:08Baseball people know this.
04:09If you didn't get to Pedro early, you were cooked.
04:12You got to get to Schlittler early in game one.
04:14What's the deal with Aaron Judge?
04:16Is he now suggesting that he may be available, and he's angry that Aaron Boone suggested that he would not
04:24be available?
04:24Is that what I'm seeing, and is that accurate?
04:27I think this is a CYA.
04:29Okay.
04:29This is a guy saying, I want to play.
04:31They don't want me to play, because he feels like he's being bombarded by fans demanding that he play.
04:37Okay.
04:37I would put it at about 20% chance he plays in the series.
04:41Yeah.
04:41I mean, you have got your issue last go-around.
04:46You had Garrett Crochet.
04:47You don't have Garrett Crochet.
04:49Fine.
04:49You got Sonny Gray.
04:50You got Peyton Tolley.
04:51You got Ranger Suarez.
04:52I'm great with that.
04:53But you got to be able to hit the baseball, and you have to be able to get runs.
04:59And so that's what killed you last go-around with the Yankees.
05:02Right.
05:02So we.
